brought to you by the letter B

Ethan has been a superhero this week. A combination of watching Super Why on PBS and Super Friends episode of Blue's Clues. He takes his favorite blanket - puts it over his head as his cape - and runs through the house. Ask him what his super powers are:

I'm a super reader

and a super runner

and I can fly!

Not too shaby of powers for a 3 year old!

Ever since E was watched The Letter Factory - a DVD by LeapFrog that helps with pronunciation of all the letters - he wants to sound things out. or at least the first letter of everything. It usually goes like this: What does ball start with? We say the word really slow with emphasis on the B. bugh-buh-buh-ball... Oh! B! then he wants to know what else starts with B and Mike and I run down as many words as we can think of. Last night this started at the dinner table. But instead of just telling him a word, Mike asked a question: What is big and says growwwllll? Ethan got it - A Bear! So then when it was Ethan's turn he totally put it together. He said "What has ears like this (put his hands up on the top of his head) and bounces?" A Bunny!! Bunny starts with B.
